Fuel tap parts
« on: January 31, 2015, 08:59:21 PM »
Hello, I am trying to get the fuel tank clean and sealed.
When I removed the fuel tap i noticed that one of the spout is missing and the other came off quite easily.
Is it normal?
Can I just buy the missing spout?


Thanks

Don,t think you can just buy a fuel tube. I have some old ones but, have never pulled a fuel tube out. Most members just buy a new fuel tap.

You need to replace the fibre washers under the screw heads as well or petrol will continuously leak through
